Founded in 2011 by Valeria Likhova, The Passenger Collection began as a creative pursuit shaped by years in the fashion world, global exploration, and an eye attuned to elegance. What started as an appreciation for beauty and craft has evolved into a forward-looking platform dedicated to art investment, strategic stewardship, and the preservation of cultural legacy.
A Life in Art & Collecting
Valeria’s journey into the art world is both personal and professional. A collector at heart, she honed her expertise through Art History and Fine Art Law, blending scholarly rigor with market insight. In New York, she gained invaluable experience insuring private collections, developing a deep understanding of both the tangible and intangible value of art. This foundation shaped her philosophy: art should be cherished as both cultural heritage and a secure, enduring asset.
